i... feel.. .HUGE.

the sides of my body feel like they are being pulled into space with invisible string... (i.e. my skin is stretching and it feels funny.)

somebody make it STOP.

does coco butter really help? am I not a real woman because i dont lather up on lotion after I shower? this is what I heard at work today and it was alarming...

everyone i know is having babies it seems like. And theyre all boys. And all of them have names except for mine. LAME.

oh yeah... Dear Heartburn: I HATE YOU.

Love Audrey

update!!

hello people!!

So, this is a picture of my friend chelsea and I. We are both due in December..shes due on the 17th and I, of course, on the 31st! As you can see our bellies are pretty close in size...which either means shes little or I'm a big giant elephant..depending on who you ask!! We recently had a nice trip up to her family lake house on wawasee. It was a great time. I didnt catch any fish--booo. BUT, I did win the Euchre tournament with her boyfriend Dave... bad news is that now her grandma doesnt like me... she was more competitive than I am, if you can imagine that. And I think us winning pissed her off. hahaha... old ladies are so funny. Chelsea told me later that her grandma called and said "I dont like your friend.. she cheats in Euchre. Theres no way she could have won... Ive been playing Euchre for years and I never lose." Lol!! And she was SERIOUS. She really doesnt like me now!! haha.... ah well... cant please everyone!

We also took the boys tubing. They did a good job and we were jealous that we were prego and couldnt do it too... Next summer we decided that its all about us girls.. the boys can watch the babies while we go play in the water...

Anyway... in other news... work kind of sucks... how bout your job? I really dont HATE what I do, I just seriously dislike it most days... if any of you have any other grand ideas about something i could do once the baby is born--Id be one big listening ear to your suggestions... Id give anything not to go back after the baby is here.. not just because i have a serious distaste for sales in this industry, but also because I really dont want someone else to raise my kid for me... woof. Unfortunately, my expertise lies only in waiting tables and selling contracts to broke poets... not a big resume if you know what Im saying...so my options are limited. I need good ideas. I wish I could get paid to blog and google things... Id be rich.

Ps. The nameless little boy in my belly is doing quite well. Kicking me all the time..mostly at night when Im relaxed...probably a precursor of whats to come :) I get tested for gestational diabetes at my next appointment on October 1st. eek. And the one after THAT is another cool ultrasound pic!! sweeeeet.

Ask, and you shall receive!!

Helloooooo blog reader people!!! Well, E asked for an update, so even though she might be the only one reading this (hey girl heeyyy!), if you ask for it, youll get it!! So here it is!! So, Ive been up to lots of stuff the last few weeks! Above are pictures from my friends bday party. The cute little baby boy is him and his wifes son, Mason. I love this kid! He's got the cutest little cheeks!! And it was GREAT seeing my awesome friends again. I dont see NEARLY enough of them!! They always ensure a great time, so that was really nice!! As you can see, Im beginning to look like a weeee bit of a weeble wobble... I feel like I could topple over! My stomach is shooting straight out and kind of look alienish... and Im sure my butt is getting bigger too, but we'll ignore that for now. As long as my face doesnt get fat, I think Ill be able to handle this whole weight gain. Im just petrified of having multiple chins... I know Ive got four months to go, so its a great possibility that I will welcome more chins in the near future, but right now, Im happy with where Im at! haha!

So, for those of you that havent seen me in the last couple weeks, here are some updated belly pics. I look like a ham because I took them myself since Josh was at work.. but hey, I gotta give the readers what they ask for, right? :) I promise Im not TOTALLY in love with myself and taking pictures of myself...well..maybe I am.. but regardless, you wanted to see some belly pics so I had a little fun with it and here they are!! Plus, I found a really cool new photo editor thing that Ive been messing around with so it was kind of fun to use that tonight! woo!

(this is my "Im really scared of whats growing in there" face)

(my belly button will be poppin out in no time... ew)

cant forget my signature pose even if i am pregnant! haha!

ta da!! hope you enjoyed :)
